✦ Synopsis

Anyone who installs Windows NT, creates a user, or adds a printer is an NT system administrator (whether they realize it or not). This book organizes NT's complex GUI interface, dialog boxes, and multitude of DOS-shell commands into an easy-to-use quick reference for anyone who uses or manages an NT system. It features a new tagged callout approach to documenting the GUI as well as real-life examples of command usage and strategies for problem solving, with an emphasis on networking. Windows NT in a Nutshell will be as useful to the single-system home user as it will be to the administrator of a 1,000-node corporate network. Covers both Workstation and Server versions of NT Written primarily for NT 4.0, but still useful for 3.51 Presents the GUI hierarchy with callouts to provide easy-to-locate documentation of options, buttons, and dialogs Covers the DOS-shell commands in great detail, as these come into increasing use by the experienced NT user when managing large and complex installations Includes an extensive index that quickly directs you to both GUI and DOS-shell methods of accomplishing a task, without requiring you to wade through unrelated material Examples demonstrate NT interoperating with UNIX, Novell Netware, and Apple Macintosh systems
